Karen, my tour guide and kayak instructor, was AMAZING. My experience was educational, uplifting, relaxing, and therapeutic. Karen did a great job gauging my level of comfort and provided appropriate guidance and encouragement. She was such a joy to be with. I am so glad that I was the only one. She made me feel safe and cared for. My arms were tired but my heart was full when I left. I loved that I could get pictures of my experience as well. Thanks Karen. 🙂

What a great experience! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide than Karen, she remembered all of our names and you felt like you were hanging out with a friend. Karen’s knowledge of the wildlife was fantastic and she took loads of photos which she then sent to us. It was the highlight of our vacation to Naples. Can’t recommend enough!

We had a fantastic time! I went with my 14 yo daughter and she was engaged the entire tour. Our guide, Karen learned everybody's name at the get go and used our names when speaking to us individually. My daughter felt seen and we both felt important. Karen really enjoys what she does and it shows in her excitement about the conservation of the area. We learned so much about the mangrove preserve, including little tidbits about the history and urban legends about the place. The highlight of the tour was when we saw some manatees, but especially when my daughter got to hold a live starfish and urchin. She was beaming from ear to ear. 11/10 recommend Karen as a tour guide!
